Can we go and kick some Davies pleeaase? We all know they need some well deserved punching lore never gave to them!
You should read the Dark Age books. The two favorites are bashed quite severely the future timeline.
Kurita's ruling party becomes incredibly inept in the post jihad era, and Caleb Davion is essentially the blight that Davion gets after being the "star pupil" in the timeline for so long.
Caleb is a terrible little monster with an entitlement streak based on Davion's past, that ultimately comes to a head when he flat out
rapes a character in one of the books. I'm not even joking. He explicitly rapes one of the main characters in one of the books. Oh, and he may or may not be a clinical sociopath. (Don't want to ruin too much for those that haven't read them. )
Say what you want about the early Dark Age books, but once the focus starts going to the rest of the inner sphere rather then the republic, the books become just as good if not better then the original series.
